Doctors are so quick to blame stress! I have had major GI issues for over a decade and though I have them controlled fairly well with medications, I do not have a real diagnosis. I have kind of given up on trying to get one. The work involved is too time consuming and tests for GI issues are seriously unpleasant...Maureenskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693317239250946604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-24085520197842659492010-12-15T14:21:34.588-05:002010-12-15T14:21:34.588-05:00You are the best advocate for YOU when it comes to...You are the best advocate for YOU when it comes to your health and your kids.

I've embraced mine but maybe I'll go check out other options. Maybe I can get some hairgrowth going on as well. That would be awesome.

My goodness, you could have stressed yourself to no end about it, instead you remained tenacious and now you FINALLY have relief! I feel proud of you, and I'm so grateful you decided to share your story because I'm SURE others of us will, at some point, need to deal with (either directly, or through family) instances where doctors simply hypothesize, instead of trying to get to the actual issue. We'll now have your story in our mental arsenals to use as a reminder that diligence does pay off!

My husband has gone for years with strange rashes and symptoms and now finally he found out he has allergies to things in common household products and an allergy to nickel. HE had to insist on further treatment but it's been close to 10 years...Kim @ What's That Smell?http://accidentalmommies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-68742553310904700522010-12-14T10:16:24.774-05:002010-12-14T10:16:24.774-05:00That is AWESOME that you stuck with it and didn...That is AWESOME that you stuck with it and didn't give up.

I have experienced quite a bit of hair loss and red itchy bumps myself, and I only went and saw a dermatologist. They attributed it to hormones, babies, and adult-onset acne. I didn't like the topical cream treatment, I didn't feel it helped. They also prescribed some vitamin B for the hair, I think, but never filled it because I found out shortly thereafter I was pregnant with Evelyn. <br /><br />If my symptoms continue after I am done nursing her, I plan on taking this LP diagnosis with me to the doc and suggesting it. Although I worry that my problem isn't this for the simple fact I haven't lost patches of hair...it's just thinning, fairly evenly I think. <br /><br />I hope your treatment helps you and that you can relax now. :) And I agree - hair loss and acne at our age is frustrating beyond belief!jmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910737494137891606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1745513252224031567.post-49166899930398794282010-12-14T01:17:45.196-05:002010-12-14T01:17:45.196-05:00I can only imagine how much lighter your shoulders...I can only imagine how much lighter your shoulders must feel.
